How do I print?

Virtual Historian does not have any printing capabilities. But you can copy any text in the program and paste it into a word processor for printing

I put my registration key in when I installed the program but now I am being asked to register online. Why do I have to do this twice?

Installing the program and registering are two separate processes. It is important that you register online since this will allow us to resend your registration key to you if you were to ever lose it. It will also make you eligible for upgrade pricing on future versions of Virtual Historian.

You can use Virtual Historian without registering online but you will not receive the benefits mentioned above.

Where does the name Blue Mango come from?

It was inspired by a song from a Hawaiian Love Song CD entitled "The Mango Love Song." Blue is our favorite color. It has no higher meaning than that.

What other projects do you have planned?

We are currently in the planning stages of projects on the New Testament as well as various projects dealing with U.S. History. We will keep you posted.

Who did your maps?

Clark Hess of Magma Art Development, Inc. did all of the artwork in the program. Email Clark.

How did you think of this?

We wanted to know more about the Doctrine & Covenants so we designed a tool that would help us understand it better.

How did you become experts on the D&C?

We didn't. All information in the program was either prepared by or taken from the writings of BYU professors of Church History. We simply organized the information to make it more accessible.

Who took your photos?

All virtual reality photographs were taken by Trevor DeVore of Blue Mango Multimedia. Several stills were provided by Church Archives and Craig Ostler.

Are the Virtual Reality Photographs taken with a video camera?

No. They are composites of up to 50 photographs. The photographs have to be taken with a very exact camera setup. They are then put into a software program where the various photographs are "stitched" together.

Was this created on a Mac?

Yes. All development was done using Mac OS X. We love our Macs.
